Mason wasp.
This is a mason wasp in the family Vespidae, subfamily Eumeninae, probably genus Ancistrocerus. Might be Ancistrocerus antilope, but you should wait for Matthias Buck to comment. Also, an accurate indication of size of the specimen would help for all your images.

Thanks all
I will start to carry a small ruler from now on. Unfortunately, still have old pics to identify.
